The Outpost~~Team Kimberly Homes Crushes the Outpost!!!

June 26, 2013 | 2067 Views

Yesterday was a blast, both on the water and in the lodge, for the Dave and his Kimberly Homes crew. Yesterday the fishing couldn’t have been any better and so far this has been the best weather year on the west side of Haida Gwaii I have ever seen.

Here is the Kimberly Homes crew, we have dubbed them “Team Smash Fish”!! Each guest brought their limit of Chinook to the dock. Front and centre is Ray with a 31lber and Jamie with a 30!!

Here is Ray and Big Bad Carl with the hog of the day, a 31 pounder!!! Nice work gents!

Fish were being hooked on everything from cut plugs, spoons, plugs, bare hooks, even two on the same hook…. It is mayhem out there!!!

I think this is my favourite shot of the year thus far…

Us Homo sapiens were not the only species having a heyday out on the water,

The Sea lions are having their feed on the salmon as well. If you look closely you can see the plug still in the salmons mouth. From what I have been told, Sea Lions cannot catch salmon that are free swimming in the waters as they are too fast. These pesky animals have to take advantage of us fisherman for a salmon treat!

Sammy and Shawn caught this MONSTER Ling…

This ancient snake is probably pushing 60lbs, not to mention pretty amazing to see swim back down to the depths!!

Last but not least KRUD…. The Kimberly Homes crew ganged up on the home team and had a massive 1, 2 finish. The same group did this a few years back and now that it has happened again we will never hear the end of it!!! Jamie came in 1st, Shawn in 2nd and Dewie in third. Here is Jordo handing over the green jacket to the newest KRUD winner!

Jamie hasnt wiped the smile off his face or taken off the jacket since last night!! Nice WIN!!

In my books, a 1, 2 finish in KRUD and catching fish like this group is doing, equates to “CRUSHING THE OUTPOST!!!!!”.
